Man City dominated in every index, with 64% of ball control and 33 shots in the whole match compared to only eight times for Real.

The brief moment Man City had the advantage was when Luka Modric missed the first penalty kick, while Julian Alvarez completed the task.

Real players shared their joy with Rudiger after the German midfielder successfully kicked the decisive penalty shootout.

Man City will not be able to repeat the treble like last year, when they were eliminated from the Champions League right at home despite being considered highly capable of defending the championship.

For Real, this victory is sweet revenge after losing to Man City with a total score of 1-5 in last year’s semi-finals, including a 0-4 defeat at Etihad Stadium.

The first credit in Real’s victory belongs to Lunin – Thibaut Courtois’s stunt double this season.

Man City can only blame themselves for missing so many opportunities.

The home team played relatively difficultly before equalizing 1-1.

Man City players were disappointed after losing in the penalty shootout.

Doku’s speed and disruptive ability continued to make things difficult for Real in extra time, but Man City could not take advantage of this midfielder’s crosses.

This is the 17th time Real has reached the Champions League semi-finals, more than any other team.
